CAMPAIGN'92
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Attacks persist among candidates
The Associated Press
President Bush said yesterday that he had a pleasant relationship with Bill Clinton, then freshened his attack on his rival's character and economic proposals. The Democrat said that after 12 years in power, the GOP had run out of direction and ought to be run out of town.
With a dozen days remaining until the election, Clinton and Bush both shot nervous glances in Ross Perot's direction.
The third man in the race has some good ideas and he's got some nutty ideas, the president said in an interview on "CBS This Morning."
"I don't think people want to waste their vote on Perot, and that's what it undoubtedly would be." Bush said.
Clinton didn't mention Perot by name but lumped him together with Bush by implication.
"Of all the choices you have in this election, only one has never been part of the Washington insider establishment," he said of himself. The Clinton campaign has referred to Perot's previous ties to the Nixon administration and his congressional lobbying.
Clinton leads Bush in all the pre-election surveys, with Perot well behind in third place. Even so, the
Texan has stepped up his radio and television advertising, and polls suggest he has gained strength in selected parts of the country after the three presidential debates.
The president's campaign distributed a letter from 50 retired admirals and generals calling on Clinton to release all the documents in his possession about his Vietnam-era draft status. On the stump, Clinton reminded his audience that 24 retired admirals and generals have endorsed him.
The daily ad and fax wars continued, as well.
Clinton previewed a 30-second television commercial in support of his plan to impose higher taxes on foreign corporations operating in the United States. The ad says Bush supports tax loopholes for the corporations.
Bush campaigned with Joseph Cicippio, a former hostage who was held in Lebanon. "God bless America and God bless the president," said
Cicippio. Another former hostage, ex-Associated Press correspondent Terry Anderson, has sided with Clinton.
Perot's running mate, James Stockdale, paid a low-key visit to Seattle, dropping by for 10 minutes at the ticket's campaign office to sign autographs for volunteers. "Let's go for victory," he said.
Campaign finance reports indicated that Perot is plowing millions from his own fortune into his race for the White House, including $30 million in the past six weeks.
In a 30-minute ad airing tomorrow night on NBC, he rejects Bush's contention that Perot votes are wasted votes.
"About this time in the campaign of 1060, John Kennedy said to the American people that at this stage of the election the choice is about more than the candidates: It is about the people themselves. You have to decide what kind of people you are, what kind of values you have and what kind of future you want."
"You are throwing your vote away unless you vote your conscience," he says in the commercial.
Campaign and industry sources said that in addition to a string of network television commercials, Perot was paying for local TV ads in 23 states. In addition, the Texas billionaire is spending heavily on radio ads in at least nine states.
Shrugging off his deficit in the polls, Bush said the momentum was his.
Clinton, 45, invoked the name of an earlier young Democrat as he campaigned in Washington and other Western states.
"In spite of the economic concerns that we all feel, I think — I'm confident I'm going to win this election," he told his CBS interviewer.
Bush firmly turned aside any attempt to get him to consider the possibility of failure in his re-election bid. Asked by CBS' Paula Zahn what kind of president Clinton would make and what his greatest fear would be, this exchange took place:
Bush: You sound like — what's that woman who writes for one of those magazines, those now slick-covered, inside, stretch me out on a couch and let me analyze.
Majority of newspapers favor Clinton
Zahn: Do a little psychoanalysis here. Well, that's what we do on 'CBS This Morning.'
Bush: The heck with that. I've got a pleasant relationship with Bill Clinton. Our difference is substantive.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — For the first time since 1964, it appears likely that a Democratic presidential candidate will receive more newspaper endorsements than his Republican opponent.
In a nationwide survey of newspapers, the industry journal Editor & Publisher found 149 endorsements for Bill Clinton and 121 for President Bush, the magazine's managing editor, John Consoli, said yesterday.
Since 1940, when E&P began conducting its quadrennial survey, only one Democrat has received a majority of endorsements. That was Lyndon Johnson, who received 440 endorsements in 1964. Republican Barry Goldwater got 359.
Newspaper publishers, a generally conservative
lattice, have preferred Wendell Wilkie over Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Thomas Dewey over Harry Truman, Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy and Gerald Ford over Jimmy Carter. They have endorsed every successful Republican candidate as well.
Some of those hadn't endorsed yet, but many probably won't. There has been a gradual trend away from endorsing presidential candidates; in 1988, 416 respondents to E&P's survey took no stand.
The Connecticut Post in Bridgeport said yesterday that it was throwing its support to Perot because he was "the only candidate who has demonstrated and articulated a true understanding of the nature of our fiscal mess."
The E&P survey lists only one newspaper — the McCook, Neb., Daily Gazette — as endorsing Ross Perot, although at least one other newspaper has done so since Editor & Publisher went to press.
This year's survey was compiled slightly earlier than usual because Election Day falls on Nov. 3, somewhat earlier than in some past years. That may help account for the record number of newspapers
n The strikebound Pittsburgh newspapers issued their endorsements by fax. The Pittsburgh Press went for Bush, the Post-Gazette for Clinton.
n The York County Coast Star, a weekly newspaper that serves Bush's summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine, endorsed Clinton on Wednesday. The newspapers in Houston, where Bush maintains his voting address, haven't endorsed yet, but Clinton picked up the support of the Hope Star, the newspaper in the Arkansas town where he was born. It was the first time in its 93 years that the Star had endorsed a presidential candidate.
